Orion the Alaskan Malamute

Max is a 2 year old pure breed working Cocker Spaniel who absolutely loves life. He hasn't found a person or dog that he doesn't love. Full of beans and high energy, he can often be found sprinting our local fields with his beloved ball.

Orion is my 20 month old Alaskan Malamute that I had chosen from birth - or rather we chose each other!! Out of a litter of eight he was the most chilled out little puppy and suited my own personality traits. From the moment I brought him home he became house trained very quickly, and understood my wife's "house rules" pretty quickly too, like not to climb on the sofas, go upstairs to the bedrooms and our conservatory became his "domain". He's a big lad, stands 27inches at the withers and weighed 110lbs (50kl) at 18months. Like all Malamutes he is very vocal .... and very friendly, especially with children - he adores my Grandchildren! He greets everyone he meets with a "woo woo" hello and is a bit of a diva as being an unusual breed he gets - and expects- lots of attention. In fact it's the many times that the general public that have stopped us in the streets to request photos and state that he's so handsome he ought to be in films / adverts! I have past experience with Malamutes before but none have received the attention this one receives! For example, a recent train trip to Cambridge (he travels well) on a punt created much attention and clicking camaras from the river edge and particularly from the bridges! The same from a party of Japanese tourists in Brighton. From a pup I have endeavoured to introduce him to as many animal species as possible, including from a local theme farms, alpacas, horses, reindeer etc. He's gentle giant with a lovely personality so am persuaded, as a long shot, to give Dogs on Camara a go!
